Fine Arts Festival Is April 6, 1976. This marks O.H.S., first Fine Arts Festival which proved to be an outstanding success. Over 300 students performed events, ranging from chamber music to the use of a pottery wheel for a continuing audience of more than 800 students. Just recently organized, the Fine Arts Department dis- played an exciting array of music, drama, theatre, and art. The festival lasted the entire day and continued on into the early evening for the public. Events were presented both in the gym and the auditorium. The Don Blew Trio completed the festival with a free, hour long concert. Hopefully, this colourful program will be presented an- nually, for as explained by one participating instructor, It was the best way we could think to get our students before others in the high school. But what are the chances of the festival becoming an annual event? Considering Principal Lewis Dye's comment. “It was just fantastic, really great, it appears that the Fine Arts Festival shall become a regular outstanding success.

To some it is a public relations modium for the community. To others it is a bunch of pictures inside two covers. But for all of us. a yearbook is an everlasting treasure of memories which remind us of those three youthful years at our high school. A lot of time and effort goes into the production of a yearbook. The staff makes a desperate attempt to capture school life for one year within 200 pages. This is not an easy assign- ment to covor. And. of course, many aspects of school life go uncovered due to many technical problems. The yearbook is a one-shot pro- ject. Once it goes to press, it cannot be changed. Therefore, sometimes it becomes a source for much criticism. The staff encourages criticism so that we can make each year’s book a little better. These 200 pages may look simple, but a lot of thinking goes into each page before it is published. We need imaginative minds. If you have one, come on in and lend a hand. % V.
